John J. Reilly's Obituary
John J. "Jack" Reilly, 76, of Skillman, NJ, passed away at Foothill Acres Nursing Home in Hillsborough, NJ.
Born in Brooklyn, NY to John and Marion (Sahm) Reilly, he graduated high school from St Francis Prep in Brooklyn, NY. He was a proud graduate of the US Naval Academy Class of 1960, after which he served 4 years in US Air Force as Missile Control Officer during the Cuban Missile Crisis and was honorably discharged in 1964.
While balancing a successful career as a corporate executive, Jack also did the things he loved most in his life: spending time with his family, playing golf, coaching little league, leading the boy scouts, running school Booster Clubs and volunteering for many charitable organizations, especially, Catholic Charities. Most of all, he treasured the many years he spent with his beloved wife Dorothy, travelling to over 37 countries, and making everlasting memories with his dear family and friends.
Jack was predeceased by his parents and sister, Bette Anne Manning. Besides his wife, Dorothy (Wargo), Jack is survived by his sons; John and fiancé Gina and Steven and wife Sandy, daughter Lori Schaefer and husband Frank, sister Christine Almskog and husband Douglas, brothers-in-law Albert Wargo and wife Patricia, John Wargo and wife Linda, seven grandchildren; Joshua, Jessica and fiancé, J.R., Benjamin, Erin, Julia, Jae, and Jack, and two great grandsons Damon and Avery.
Funeral Services will begin Wednesday, February 5 at 9:30am in Kimble Funeral Home, 1 Hamilton Avenue, Princeton, NJ, followed by a 10:30am Mass of Christian Burial at The Church of St. Charles Borromeo, 47 Skillman Road, Skillman, NJ 08558. After a private cremation, Jack's remains will be placed, at a later date, in the columbarium at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.
Viewing for friends and family will be Tuesday, February 4, 2014 from 1:00-3:00pm and 6:00-8:00pm at the funeral home.
In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that donations be made to an organization dear to Jack's heart, Catholic Charities, Diocese of Trenton. Please mail donations to Nancy Tompkins,
